Site:
http://www.tradera.com
This site had an ad at the top, adblock removed it (with my help) but the space is still there due to this little piece of code:
Code: Select all
<div class="headerWrapperThin" style="margin-top:136px">
Screenshot:
So is it possible for adblock to change that code to:
Filters i added to remove the ads:
Code: Select all
tradera.com##div.topBannerContainerSlim
tradera.com##DIV#bannerTop
tradera.com##DIV#bannerSkyscraper
tradera.com##iframe[class^="aa-if"]
tradera.com##embed[id^="Fusionflash_"][name^="Fusionflash_"]
tradera.com##a[onclick^="window.Fusion.countAdvertEvent("][onclick$=", 'click'); return true;"]

Does the swedish regional do fine? (the blank space still shows on the main page, but other pages hosted on that domain seem fine..)

I know that, Read the first post again, please.
I'm asking if adblock can change this
Code: Select all
<div class="headerWrapperThin" style="margin-top:136px">
to this:
So is it possible ?
If not then i will request this feature.

If I understand correctly, it seems like you're asking whether ABP can arbitrarily rewrite CSS rules? If so, it can't.

There is already such a suggestion:
forum/viewtopic.php?t=5977
And there is always the possibility to use Stylish to do it yourself:

Well i just want the support to be able to modify the web page to be able to remove ad space holes, like the one above
Like:
Code: Select all
tradera.com##DIV[class="headerWrapperThin"][remove_attr="style", if_value="margin-top:136px"]
something like that
When i think about it, why haven't this feature been added already ?
What was the developer(s) reason for not supporting it ?

Can the developer(s) perhaps answer these questions, please ?

Did you check the link to the other topic above that Ares2 posted? There is some discussion of the considerations.
I can't speak for Wladimir. To me personally, it seems like a considerable amount of work and complexity - not just in coding it, but in maintaining it - for a relatively small gain in overall ads blocked.
On the other hand, if ads in general become complex enough to really require this sort of manipulation to remove them properly, this type of thing might become necessary.
